[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aren't there more and more UMC and up kids who were born in wealthy coastal communities that now claim to be "rural" because their parents telework or don't really have to work anymore so they moved somewhere like Montana?  And school quality isn't really an issue because they can go to boarding school?

Even 30 years ago, lots of these kids at Ivies.

The colleges see what schools they attend.   :roll: [/quote]

You missed the point. The colleges want these kids from boarding schools. They get to check the geographic diversity box while still getting a kid from a feeder as well.[/quote]

You are really stretching here.  The colleges are looking for kids from rural high schools - boarding school kids don't count.  [/quote]

They do count as rural and they do count for their home state. And they are more academically qualified than a kid with no rigor who went to a crappy rural school. [/quote]
DP. Depends where thr "rural" designation is coming from. College Board Recognition uses the high school. Half the high schools in the US are designated rural.[/quote]
